| What does this song mean, I don't think Spencer probably even knows himself. But it's pretty cool though. | |

| Rilo Kiley – Capturing Moods Lyrics | 17 years ago |

You really need to remember that a large majority of this album is about jenny's childhood, especially when you listen to the parts of "And That's How I Choose to Remember It,". It's about her father, who dissapeared off to Alaska after he divorced Jenny's mother. He used to send her postcards, hence where the 'capturing moods' comes from, capturing moods in what he wrote. 'I don’t mind braving the coldest winter of our time I don’t mind racing through our goodbyes' She never gets to see him, therefore she would withstand anythintg to see what he's really like. http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/jenny-lewis--my-private-traumas-942595.html This should shed some light on most of her solo stuff and her stuff with RK. |

You lot do really belittle Jenny's songwriting. Why does everyone on this site think that every song in the world is about the singer and a lover or gf/bf. It's like you have that idea, and then try and wrap it around the song, not the other way around. It's like you read the very last lines and go 'OH! it's obvious'. SO what about verses like: 'And oh, I'm not going back To the assholes that made me a perfect display Of random acts of hopelessness I wish I could stay here But I think we're all ready, think we're all ready' What's that got to do with it then? The answer is, you won't know what this song is about, only Jenny does, but I think it's more about the general negatives of touring around, going to all these places and not being able to see them, just playing a show and getting out of there, among other things. But it's definately a personal song, so no one can be sure. |

| Wolf Parade – I'll Believe in Anything Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Oh and to the person who critised the guy for brining up relgiousness, you're such a failure, the song is called I'll BELIEVE in Anything'. What other things do you believe in. And the believing in love thing is so fucking corny, I don't think Spencer would write it. | |

There's something about people who post on this site that really bugs me, and the posts for this song highlight it. People need to realise that NOT EVERY SONG IS A LOVE SONG! If you want a song about a lover dying, go and listen to 'I Will Follow You Into The Dark' 100 times over. Spencer never writes songs about somethign so obvious and simple, let alone boring. I think I've had a massive moment of enlightenment in regards to this song. I don't mind if you don't agree with me, but to me lyrics like this are similar to poetry. Think about the stages of grieving when losing aloved one or a dear friend, or even someone dying themselves. especially in relation to the second half of the song. 'If I could take the fire out from the wire I'd share a life and you'd share a life' to me sounds like bargaining, but taking fire out from a wire, whatever that means, sounds like something impossible, no one can 'share a life' but he'd do anything to save them. Then you definately have depression: I said nobody knows you And nobody gives a damn either way About your blood, your bones Your voice, and your ghost And the end to me could perhaps be acceptance, not too sure on that though though if it is 'anyway' rather than 'either way' then it seems like the person cares less about no one 'giving a damn' 'And I could take another hit for you And I could take away your trips from you' etc. Going backwards I know, but this verse could perhaps be anger, about people not doing as much as they could. OR (sorry for the random rambling) the whole verse could be about what 'God' could be offering someone, the place far away from here being heaven. Whatever the case, this is completely death related. I had this down as a love song first few listens, but now I just don't see it. |
